Chapter 12: The Secret of My Father's Heart

Liang Yong saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly drank all the wine in the cup.

"Brother Dao! Little Brother Dao! Liang has already eaten and drunk well, it's not early, I have to go back to the county to resume my life, so I won't bother, let's see you in the future! Liang Yong said with his fists clenched.

Dao Wuji hurriedly got up and said: "Brother Liang drank wine, and the brothers also drank a lot, it is not safe for you to carry so much silver on the road, don't leave today, sleep well with me, tomorrow... Tomorrow morning, I'll have Dowling escort you back. ”

Liang Yong waved his hand when he heard the words and said, "It's just a little drink, it's not in the way, it's not in the way!" ”

With that, he opened the door and sighed helplessly when he saw his drunken men in the lobby downstairs.

"It seems... I have to trouble the eldest brother to arrange a place for me and these brothers to live. ”

"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, and when they finish drinking, someone will naturally find them a place to live, let's go back and continue to drink, we haven't finished drinking yet." Dao Wuji put his arm around Liang Yong and returned to the house again.

Dowling hurriedly poured Liang Yong full of wine.

"It's really troublesome Brother Dao this time, Liang will give you a drink."

The two looked at each other, smiled, clinked glasses, and drank them all.

The feast didn't end until the sun went down, the guests were sent off, the door was closed, and Dowling and the restaurant guys sent the drunken guards into the room.

Liang Yong has a good amount of alcohol, and in addition to talking verbosely, he is quite sober so far.

"Brother Dao, don't worry about me, I can go by myself, you go and help your father, your father has drunk too much, you just tell me which room to go, I'll go by myself." Liang Yong refused Daolin's support, and after asking about the room, he left.

Dowling came to the table, looked at Dao Wuji, who had already drunk too much and was lying on the table, and guessed in his heart that his father must have a secret, otherwise how could a chef suddenly stop cooking?

Carefully slung his father on his shoulder, Dowling walked towards the backyard.

The room of the father and son is with the worker's, which is also arranged by Dao Wuji, saying that the life is close, and the heart is close.

Putting his father on the bed, Dowling covered the quilt for him, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Dao Wuji's hand.

"Daddy... You're not drunk? Dowling asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Dao Wuji didn't answer, just looked at Dao Lin without blinking.

"Daddy? Do you need me to make you a decanting soup? Dowling asked softly.

Dao Wuji shook his head slightly and said, "Help me up." ”

Dowling hurriedly pulled Dao Wuji up and put the pillow behind him.

"Would you like to hear a story?" Dao Wuji said in a low tone.

"Daddy, tell me, I'll listen." Dowling nodded.

"When I was your age, I went to the imperial capital for a period of time and lived in the imperial capital for a long time."

"My grandfather had a total of four children, two boys and two girls, my father was the eldest, followed by the second uncle, the third aunt, and the fourth aunt."

"Our Taoist family is a famous family in the imperial capital, and now it is even more so, these are the family business laid by my grandfather, everything is going well, my father inherited his father's business, and also became an excellent chef, but the second uncle They don't listen to the ancestral teachings, they want to cultivate martial arts, and they say that if you want to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, you must cultivate martial arts."

"They are right, the place in the imperial capital is the strong, if grandpa is alive, it would be fine, but grandpa died too early."

"My father's vein soon declined, and he was squeezed out by the second uncle everywhere, and even they blatantly confiscated our resources.

"My father also fell ill because of this, and it didn't take long for him to go with my grandfather."

"I couldn't stand that kind of life under the fence, so I went to beg my second uncle to let me go, but they didn't agree until I took out the golden knife left by my grandfather and forced me to die, and they agreed to come down."

"They asked me to ask Emperor Shenwu to resign, and to ask Emperor Shenwu to continue to take care of the Taoist, but I refused."

"They persecuted me with Wan'er! They forced me with Wan'er! With that, Dao Wuji's eyes turned red and he roared, tears sliding down his cheeks.

Dowling hurriedly comforted his father, and his fists were clenched to death.

Dao Wuji sobbed and continued: "I was forced, I had no choice but to comply, I went to see the emperor with the imperial golden knife, and the emperor also agreed to my request, let me take my grandfather and father's ashes back to my homeland for burial. ”

"I thought it was over, but those bastards actually detained Wan'er, saying that they were afraid that I would secretly tell the emperor, I hated it! I want to kill them! ”

"But I... But I couldn't fight them, they were all warriors, and finally I returned here with the ashes of you and my grandfather in my infancy. ”

Dowling felt uncomfortable when he heard this, his father had worked hard to raise him all these years, and his heart hurt when he saw his father so uncomfortable.

"So... My mother didn't die, but was held hostage in the imperial capital of Taoism? Dowling asked angrily.

Dao Wuji nodded, his gaze full of hatred.

"I'm going to the imperial capital, I'm going to save my mother!" Dowling said hoarsely.

"No! You have to be calm, you are not their opponent yet. Dao Wuji hurriedly stopped his son's impulsive thoughts.

"Knowing that my mother is in the tiger's mouth, how can you tell me to calm down?" Dowling only felt that his lungs were about to explode at this time.

"Telling you these things today is not for you to die, but for another thing, only if you do this well, you will have the qualifications to go back and call the Taoist." Dao Wuji dragged Dao Lin and said.

"What's the matter?" Dowling asked as his chest rose violently.

"Keep listening to me...

When you don't remember, you're probably only three or four years old, and the Taoists sent people here, and their purpose is very clear, that is, to see how our two are doing.

I asked how your mother was doing, but they didn't answer, and when I asked, the man said that your mother had been rescued, and they suspected that I had found someone to save your mother, and they were afraid that they would lose the bargaining chips that restrained me, so they chased after me.

But they searched all the way but couldn't find your mother, and in a fit of rage, they wasted me, they destroyed my sense of taste and smell, and made me a wretch who couldn't cook.

What they are doing is to cut off my chance to cook for the emperor again, and cut off all my back roads. ”

Speaking of this, Dao Wuji couldn't cry anymore.

"Then you can also take the imperial golden sword and ask the emperor again, tell the emperor what they have done, and let the emperor punish them." Dowling said angrily.

"Why? Why should the emperor punish a big martial arts family because I am a wasted person? I'm just your grandfather's grandson, I'm not your grandfather! Dao Wuji touched the tears on his face, and then looked at Dao Lin with blazing eyes.

"But now the opportunity has come, as long as I teach you cooking skills, you bring a cooking skill to the emperor, you are a warrior, and you can make the food that the emperor likes, I think the emperor will definitely like you." Dao Wuji grabbed Dao Lin and said excitedly.

Dowling was stunned when he heard this, he really wanted to learn cooking, but the purpose of learning cooking was to accumulate points, not to please anyone, which was very contrary to his original intention.
